So I have this cousin who's staying with us because MY MOM is paying HER college education fee. For the past 3 years of being with her, I found out that she's a comp;ete liar. I mean, she tends to exaggerate things to make her look good (it's obvious enough that she's a liar) and she's somewhat close with my dad. One day, she gets into a fight with my other uncle (mom's bro) and she talks about bad things behind our uncle's back to my dad and me, and she also mentions that my mom is a ***** too. Obviously, even if my mom does have some flaws, I was really offended with what she said. It's as if she's not grateful that without my mom, she'd end up as a factory worker/maid. She lies to my dad that my mom got mad at him when my dad had this reunion, even if she really didn't. Sometimes I think that she tells her friends that my mom's making her into a slave, when she's being treated as a guest. It makes my family look bad.

I just want to strangle her right now. What would you do??

Is it acceptable for an aunt to kiss an 8 month old baby's bare privates everytime there is a diaper change? Is this sick, or am I over analyzing something I saw?

A number of years ago I lost and then regained contact with my father. In the space of the few years we lost contact he had remarried (wife #4) and had 2 sons who were then quite young. He told me he had not told his current wife (18yrs his junior) about his first 2 wives or that my brother and I existed.
I agreed to stay secret until such time that the boys were grown and have had no contact with him as I did not want to be part of any lies or subterfuge that may have taken place had we decided to continue to meet up. The boys are now grow. Mid to late teens.
Divulging my existence could cause problems in his current relationship or not.
Essentially I have two half brothers and a father in his late 60's who has denied my existence to his current family for the last 15 years or so.
Any opinions? Leave well alone or tread carefully forwards?

My 7 year old daughter and I were at Christmas with my mom, and family members. I was feeling alot of anxiety, being around them. Since these people believe that I am raising my kid wrong and that I will have consequences for my life (i chose a different religion), I don't like my kids around them too much. I am to be nice all the time, even when they are guilt tripping me and trying to control me. This year, I was feeling anxiety again, and 1/2 way through, I decided that it was high time that I start doing what was best for me. Instead of sitting there, trying to ward off an anxiety attack, I got my kid and my gifts, said I wasn't feeling well and walked out.

My kid cried. Everyone followed me to the door, very hurt. They started throwing 'what is best for my daughter's Christmas' in my face and got really hurt by my actions and some got mad at me.

As soon as I was outside, I felt peace. I took care of me! But I hurt everyone! Is what I did so unaccpetable?

my dog died last week
i feel so lonely
my parents probably dont really care about me
so many other things seem more important, including tv.
i dont feel like doing anything.
lack of appetite, energy, etc.
situational depression?
my parents dont know what im going through, probably dont even care.
they wont let me get another dog.
seems like nothing i say goes into consideration.

i dont know what to do, who to talk to, etc.
i feel so helpless.
normally, i would just spend time with my dog when i couldnt stand my parents, but now thats not possible.

Please give me advice, I am at wit's end...
-1-- My son is 23, daily just try to get by and won't search new, ie be pro-active, re: how to be better, eg. transfer to 4-year college, find better paying job, etc
-2--Brings girlfriend home to sleep, this is against my wife and my ethical principles, worse he is setting examples to younger sibling that it's ok to sleep with opposite sex before, and not even thinking about marriage
-3--Makes money but spend by himself only, without helping out with family expense, such as rent or grocery payments. Currently he takes a whole bedroom in a 3-bedroom house with total 5 memebers.
-4--Won't graduate from Jr College after been there 4 years, always have execuses eg. changed major, missed registratin, couldn't get class, could't sign up for class because did not take prerequisite class. His one-year younger sister already graduated from 4-year college

About a year ago, Me, the hubby & 2 of our 3 children moved from Indiana to California. My oldest son (15, now 16) wanted to stay in Indiana to finish high school. I allowed him to move in with my Mother, she is widowed and was thrilled. However, since then she has been allowing my son to do what ever he wants, without limits and to me it seems she is using him as a surrogate husband, by this I mean, she allows him to make the decisions on dinner, when they eat, what they do, etc... I do not feel this is healthy for my son, or my mother. My mother has lost her ability to discipline my son. I don't want him to hate me, but I am afraid how he will turn out now that he is not getting the proper supervision he needs or discipline. What should I do????

Have you ever heard a teen say that their mother is treating them badly and the adults around all say "Hey, that's your MOTHER." and they immediately side with the mother???

I was raised by a very mentally ill and abusive mother. She told lies about me to the people I cared about. I was never allowed to speak on my own behalf. She still plays these games today and I am 37.

I wonder why people think that giving birth raises someone's status to being beyond reproach. My mother beat me, lied about me, emotionally abused me and threw me out of the house for no reason. NO ONE listened to me.

Perhaps people should take the time to consider that a teen with problems might be coming from a crappy homelife.

My parents tend to think that everyone is out to get something for themselves, and it makes it hard at times to view anyone as fun or worth being friends with in a real way - as more than an aquaintance. I think they are more negative about people than need be, because I've lived by myself for a while, and have found that many people are nice enough. But whenever I am around my parents, it is hard to see people this way - especially my friends and boyfriends. They always find something wrong with them - they are not generous enough, or polite enough, or are too selfish. But most of the time, they are just normal human beings as far as I see.
It makes it really hard to enjoy being around other people sometimes. Part of me really wants to just ignore them, but then they are also right about many things. But I can't live my life always thinking my friends are going to be selfish to me or something, esp.when the only thing they might have done wrong was to forget to hold open a door once!
